☞ FIRST IMPRESSIONS♠ VISUAL: Physically massive, both in height and breadth. Stands at about six feet eleven inches. Broad shoulders, thick neck, and a generally solid, implacable stance. Looks to be equal parts muscle and compact fat. Pale brown hair, brown eyes, light olive skin. Possesses tattoos of chain symbols on the interior of each wrist. ♠ FASHION: Typically wears a beige cable-knit sweater. Often bedraggled, torn, or bloodied, like he got in a scrap and forgot to clean himself up afterwards. His wardrobe is simple and utilitarian. ♠ DEMEANOR: Largely silent. Capable of speech, but seldom dispenses two words when one would suffice. Restrained, observant, and resourceful. Capable of incredible violence and very aware of this fact, and not above making others aware of said fact if it serves him. Often succumbs to "RPG Protagonist Syndrome" - enters rooms without asking, pockets whatever objects he finds without permission, frisks corpses for useful items, etc. A semi-heavy drinker and smoker, but also susceptible to bizarrely childish behavior, such as a complete inability to recognize or handle his own panic. ♠ SOUND: When he does speak, it's with an American accent. The pace of his tone is quiet, even, and measured, but typically firm. ♠ SCENT: Smells of sea salt, brine, blood, sweat, and cigarette smoke. Also, frequently, alcohol. ♠ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Many of Jack's memories of his early life are false implantations, engineered by Rapture scientists, a fact of which he's only become dimly aware. Everything from his home to his parents' names and faces to a childhood he never had are fabrications that he still clings to, believing wholeheartedly. ♠ MAGICAL INFORMATION: None. He's capable of using plasmids, but they are decidedly scientific in nature due to having a basis in his genetic structure. ♠ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Jack's biological structure is a mess of invasive genetic engineering, growth acceleration, false memories, and the genetic rewiring that comes from frequent plasmid use. He is in actuality four years old, though he looks and acts like someone in his mid-twenties.
☞ IC PERMISSIONS♠ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Jack has no problems with it, personally, though he might be uncertain as to how to handle it. He's not received much positive physical affection in his life span. ♠ HUGGING: He won't be sure on how to handle it, but he absolutely needs several hugs. ♠ KISSING: Platonic only, please. ♠ FLIRTING: He's four. ♠ RELATIONSHIPS: HE'S FOUR. But in all seriousness, no. ♠ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Inevitable, frankly, though it's always nice to sort things out via Plurk or PM if we wanna go this route! ♠ KILLING: Again, shoot me a heads-up so we can plot. ♠ IC TRIGGERS: Mental manipulation, mind control, child endangerment/abuse. As a related note, Jack also contains (at least) two mental trigger phrases that his body will respond to, whether he wants to or not: "would you kindly" will force him to perform whatever deed he is asked to do, while "code yellow" will kill him slowly as his heart tries to shut itself down.
☞ OOC PERMISSIONS♠ BACKTAGGING: Always and forever! ♠ THREADJACKING: If all parties are amenable to it, so am I. ♠ OOC CONTENT WARNINGS: BioShock deals pretty heavily with body horror, and Jack's history in particular touches on medical experimentation done to a child. He doesn't have memories of most of this, so if you want me to leave out references of any of the above, just let me know. ♠ OOC TRIGGERS: Transphobia and misgendering. Shouldn't be a problem with Jack; just bear in mind that any period-appropriate slurs aren't really my bag. I'm fine if you slip up here and there, but please try and keep it to a minimum.
